    What's your martial arts story?

    Before I started martial arts, I was a bully. I tried to get in the face of someone who knew how to fight, he dropped me with one roundhouse to the body. From there I started to train with the intention of getting revenge. As I trained I got my ass kicked in the gym a lot, which really mellowed...

    Leg Kick Technique

    I know you mean well and are just curious to learn, but my advice is to learn from a legitimate instructor. That way you can avoid bad habits and learn it quicker than what anyone has to say online or even with videos on YouTube. Hope this helps.

    I Want To Try Pot

    I used to smoke a lot but then I started getting paranoid. When I started getting more paranoid than chill, I quit. Then again, everybody has their own tolerance and experience. I say try it out. If it's a good fit then go for it. If not, then no biggie.

    Karate Combat

    Saw a few fights on Youtube, not a big fan since I'm not primarily a Karate guy, but it's alright. Been done before, though.

    Tried Weed for the 1st time...it sucks

    Used to smoke a lot when I was young. I would smoke it to relax after training. After a few years i would only get paranoid, so i stopped.

    Hey so someone fill me in on the last few years....

    Pretty much all of us except Sinister. He pretty much trains fighters these days and wears awesome ass bandanas.

    Hey so someone fill me in on the last few years....

    Sometimes I still lurk, but not as much as I used to. I gained a lot of weight, about seventy pounds to be exact and don't really train anymore. It's good to see that the tenets we came upon back then are still in effect. And yeah, KK has a kid now and doesn't really hang around here as often...

    Best self defense martial art

    Dang straight. There are actually quite a few legit Krav Maga places springing up. To OP, if you're pressed for time or if you're a bit impatient, just how to box properly and add in a few choice wrestling techniques and you should be good.

    today i started boxing and....

    If it's a question of "pulling the trigger," then you have commitment issues. You have to commit to the match, otherwise your opponent is going to have you for lunch. You might want to read up on fight or flight and how to induce the response you need at the time.

    Listening to the sound of hitting the heavy bag?

    One thing that always confused me is that theoretically, you should be hitting THROUGH your target, not at it. However, with that being said, it is also ideal to snap back your punches back to ready position afterwards. The question I have is if both are true, then wouldn't your overall balance...

    Combos beginning with the lead uppercut

    Try using a lead upper and follow with a lead hook either to the body or head. if you're into Muay thai, you should be in range for a spearing knee afterwards.
